My god, if you published a record I would instantly buy it. Absolutely beautiful playing! Thanks so much for all you do! It inspires me to be a better horn player
Scott is a legend. But I have to shout out the pianist. These guys live in the background but they are absolutely crushing it day in and day out. Bravo
To me, this seems to be the culmination of all your channel's content so far. A wonderful piece, and a stunning interpretation. Also, cheers to your accompanist! He is just fantastic.
You're one of the reasons why I switched to horn from trombone. I love the way you sound, and your dedication to uploading high quality content. Plus that Schmid triple is 👌🏽👌🏽
Как легко зыучит одно из самых сложных произведений, написанных для валторны, эти все переходы легато на верх в Адажио и это в живую, не в записи, очень красивая трактовка, близкая к совершенству, думаю вы сможете и ещё лучше, невероятный уровень мастерства...
I love love love this video but holy crap do I wish I could just make the screen go black for a moment playing this in recital, lmao. My endurance and high range are quite strong but even then I feel like some part of me breaks every time I approach that last page and I realise that I still gotta play that end. I love the piece but I always dread having to play it through start to finish!
Excellent interpretation, as always! I've been wondering though, about your horn - how much (if any) does having the high side in addition to the standard F/Bb help with ease in the high register? Thank you!
Hmm, it’s interesting to think about because it’s not always a clear decision when to and not to use. In this piece I don’t think the high side actually helps too much, because the primary challenge is one of endurance, and there isn’t much any Horn can help you with that. However there are still some notes like A and Ab which I just generally prefer to play on the Eb horn for intonation. Ultimately I think it comes down to the sound. In the romantic era rep, I don’t use the Eb side much because I don’t think it offers the right sound always. But in contemporary rep and classical rep, it can have a unique and sometimes more appropriate character.
Great reply! People think the alto side of a triple is a “cheat”, but if your lips are tired by the time you get to the end where you go up to the high Bb twice, a triple won’t save you.
Isn’t it awesome (yet sad) that your low register is miles ahead of Stefan Dohr’s and David Cooper? Just being honest…and I prefer your sound above David Cooper’s too.
Keep at it. The range will come! Use arpeggios to increase your range by going up chromatically. (i.e. 1st line E major arpeggio and hold the 4th space E as a whole note. Take a 5-10 second break and play F arpeggio, then F#, then G, etc. Attempt past your comfortable range, but don't hurt yourself! Do this a few times a week).
Described this to my non-musical friend as “when you’re putting butter on a warm bagel and the butter is melting as you spread it”. Splendid.
This performance deserves so much more notice from classical musicians

Hopefully one day I will have a record to share! Thanks for watching
Yeah that would be great
i don't know why I got a notification for this but I'm glad I did.
I’m glad you got a random notification too

Wesley is insanely good
I enjoy your playing, especially your rich, mellow tone. I have been playing horn since 1959, mainly on a 1963 silver 8D.
You have such a pure sound, I'd give anything for your tone! This is also an incredible interpretation! Thank you and bravo!!!
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Definitely learned a lot to go from my first videos to this

Those stopped notes at the end of the adagio add so much...amazing playing as always, thanks for sharing this with us!
Think I just found a new favorite horn piece😂
Absolutely brilliant performance, deeply insightful interpretation, technical perfection… and from memory! So inspiring!
Thank you so much!
You have done one of the best version of this piece! Bravo!
Thank you!
Dear Scott, very well played with such a beautiful sound! I like the way you play.
Bedt wishes from Vienna 😊
Thank you so much!
Sin palabras... Que gran músico!

I just started the horn, but you have the best sound I've heard so far.
But I only really like this one song of yours. I'm not much of a classical music guy.
very nice playing. Dynamics perfectly controlled with full rich sounds. Good amount of vabrato.
Excellent… Maestro, I sincerely hope you to come to Japan for recital.
Hey Scott! Sounds incredible!!! Miss you buddy!
Hey Michael! Miss you too, hope you’ve been well!
quite inspiring, great job!!
Thanks!
Bravooooo💪🏻

Sempre mitico!
Amazing..beautiful sound..

my god, I had no idea Brian Quinn from 2011 was so good at French horn
Fantastic playing. Truly inspires me to be a better horn player and your short calls always give me fantastic new tips and tricks to improve
Great playing and editing!
Thanks Jason!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Much better than Stefan Dohr’s recent performance. 😂😂 Congrats per usual!

I’m just trying to hit a G above the staff

Why's it a pity?
